How does it works?

Select the Base Kit you would like, Zero or CM3 or leave empty if you provide your own base kit;

Select any parts you want from the available choices;

Notes :

You will get individual parts, not a pre-built console

If your order includes a lithium battery and if you live in the US, due to USPS restriction, your package will be shipped using Ground service, this may cause additional delay.
